Life and public work
Sant Kirpal Singh was born in Sayyad Kasran and later worked in Indian government service. The published source introduction records his retirement in 1947. He had studied under Baba Sawan Singh since 1924.
After Baba Sawan Singh's death in 1948, the chronology places Kirpal Singh in several months of seclusion and then records the beginning of his public satsang work in Delhi. Ruhani Satsang was established around 1950, followed by Sawan Ashram in Shakti Nagar.
His public work included three major tours beyond India. He also served multiple terms as president of the World Fellowship of Religions and sponsored the World Conference on Unity of Man in New Delhi in February 1974.
